Pick #100, the Titans pick Jonnu Smith from my alma mater, F.I.U. A productive tight end who worked his way into a potential draftee by last October, his career was cut short by a Halloween incident where his fiancée threw scalding hot water in a pan at him. The burns were so bad, it looked like it would put his draft status in jeopardy, Not only did he return to practice by the final game week of the college season, he killed it at his pro day, and his hard work…twice…will now pay off.

Pick #105, James Conner of Pitt, who many of you know spent all of last off-season recovering from cancer treatments, now is healthy and was picked by the hometown Steelers.
